“You need to do this iPhone hack in case your phone gets stolen because mine did last night, and I actually got it back,” Katrina says. She adds that she learned the hack from @reviewingtech on Instagram.
“First step go to Face ID and Passcode, you want to toggle off Control Center and USB Accessories,” Audrey explains. “Toggle on Location Services, Find my iPhone, and make sure to toggle on all three of these [she’s referring to Find my iPhone, Find my Network, and Send Last Location].”
This process requires the user to sign into any other iOS device with their apple ID and then remotely manage the settings of their stolen iPhone from the secondary device in order for this method to work.
Katrina continues, “This allows your phone, even when it’s off or on airplane mode to still be findable. Whoever stole my phone last night literally was out all night.” She then shows a screenshot of a map of Chicago that showed the trajectory of her phone’s path through a series of tracked steps.

This would be one case I might be in favor of SWATing the occupants.

Except I cannot find the settings for facial recognition referenced here. Perhaps my phone is too old?
She was able to get her phone back because Gurnee Il is a small town which is predominantly white.

Big city cops are NOT interested in sparking a confrontation, leading to a riot, over an iPhone.
How bad does it have to be for people to decide to re-locate? We are starting to find the answer to that question.
We will likely learn some more about human behavior.
That would be a dumb thing to say, and then follow up with action matching your words.
An iPhone can be tracked even when it is off?
I hadn’t expected a racist take on this story. Thought people would be more interested in the technical aspects.
According to this, yes.
Don’t post your dumb comments calling for arson here.
Katrina called the Gurney Police Department and gave them the address of the house. She says the police went to the home and retrieved her phone.
Happened to me. Called the cops. They were nice enough to show up at the house with me. Got my phone back, once I told the folks that I just wanted it back and I wasn’t pressing any charges.
FindMyiPhone will probably get you to within a foot or two of where the phone is.

Future reference
Thanks for that
Don’t you watch the movies? That’s why they remove the memory chip. Or, throw it out the window of the car they’re in.
Unlike the author you know how to spell. She spells it Gurney IL
I don't have it either, because my iPhone is old too. It's the only smart phone I've owned. They're welcome to mine. I hate the thing. Only use it for phone calls and texts, and most of those phone calls are to doctor's offices, and the bulk of the texts are from Caremark for my scripts. I've never set it up to access any of my bank or credit accounts. Never used it for email. Never watched any streaming programs on it, nor played games. The only app I put on it was Verizon's Call Filter. That's it. When it finally dies, it won't be replaced.
